PS3 Firmware 3.60 Update: Banning Jailbreak Systems?

Since the PS3 was hacked one would assume that Sony would be trying to develop something to counter this. We do not know how true this is, but we have reason to believe that PS3 firmware update 3.60 will be banning systems; that’s according to SlyGamers.

SlyGamers believes that they have the proof that firmware v3.60 will ban Jailbreak PS3’s due to a phone call that was made to Sony Australia. We will not add the video below, but if you want to listen to the phone call, then you will have to visit the source website.

The caller, who obviously has a jailbroken PlayStation 3 was told in no uncertain terms that he can expect his system to be banned from PSN. This is a lot like the move that Microsoft done with it’s Xbox 360 on Xbox Live. We still do not know if this will happen or not, but it is not impossible.

Do you believe that PS3 Jailbreak Systems should be banned from the PlayStation Network?

how can almost everyone here have an issue with modders they are just bored gamers really and who cares if ppl rent game and copy them the company made the same money off that transaction as they would have if they just rented it and gave it back u still paid to obtain it. what they dont like is the ppl who download and burn games for distribution that is stealing money right out of their pocket.

I hope when this bull crap is settled that they do not brick all the ps3's There is a new ps3 coming out, and it is said that once sony gets sales increases over time with the new console they will be bricking all old existing ps3 consoles. maybe , maybe not. its all over FCC though.

OMG I can't believe how many solid lovers there are 10 bucks these haters work for Sony and they're trying to scare people into not hacking their ps3 I think this cause someone who doesn't want to jailbreak their PlayStation doesn't really give a **** if other people do or not Lake really watch someone else give a **** if I jailbreak my PlayStation or not my opinion signage is being a ***** because they can't stop the hackers long live hackers

all who agree in a ban are just jelous, most jailbreakers dont just jailbreak to "hack" cod… what other game have u seen that has been hacked, maybe if cod spent more time into their games they be better, less glitchier. instead of just trying to get the money. all us jailbreakers only jailbreak for a reason its our ps3 we deserve to do what the hell we want with it. if we want to hit it with a bat we have the right cuz we spent 399 dollars+tax… so fuck off all who say we ruin the game… and… Read more »

You guys know absolutely s*** about hacking. A.) To everyone saying don't get angry becau@e you can't follow the instructions on how to mod and unlock your console is an idiot themselves. You have to use someone else's brain powered to unlock your system! You aren't smart either numbness! B.)

People who say they paid for their system, they should be able to do whatever with it. Sure go ahead, but you should not be able to use your hacked/modded system online. Only in a LAN setting, having that advantage over players who either dont know how to hack, or dont want to hack, is not fair and is considered cheating in many communities of gamers. You want to play modded games, get on the PC. They have special lobbies for that. You should not be able to connect your hacked PS3 to the PS Network what so ever. You… Read more »

Jailbreaking is stupid. All for what, to get a few more kills, or look like you have skills at your games? There are only 2 reasons to jailbreak your system, downloading/pirating games, or using mods to make you look better online or do something your not supposed to do in the game. Whats the point? How is that worth getting your system banned, possibly destroyed because of it? Sure the system will be hacked again, but thats just because these "hackers" have nothing better to do than jack with their ps3. Use that knowledge for some good, why steal from… Read more »

Nothing is unhackable sony spent a lot of time trying to prevent this and they failed horribly. Its apparent that they will fight this till the end, but at their cost. Lets all take a moment so we can honestly agree on one thing, Black Ops is a HUGE disapointment to the Call Of Duty line the graphics remind me of ps2 on a bad day. Up to 3-9-2011 Modern Warfare 2 was actually fun with the modded patch's. The laser sight, colored classes, akimbo thumpers, walking ac-130's, no recoil, aimbot, unlimited emergency airdrops, ufo mode, god mode, two players… Read more »

you guys do realise that u can just down grade from the jailbreak to the older versions. so you can go back to 3.55 (your ps3 is normal again) then update to the latest software. you guys have to realise these guys are hackers they know how to get around things like this.

alot of people here seem to be in favor and just as many against. i wont take sides but i believe sony is well within their right to do so. the ps3, like all consoles, requires an agreement to the EULA (end user license agreement) which simply means that yes, you own the hardware but the software is being rented, not with money, but with the expectation of using it within the guidelines described in the EULA. think about that all you people who say "im unlocking what i paid for further". no your not, you paid for a hard… Read more »

I'm soooo glad when I jailbroke my ps3 with PSfreedom awile ago I had to update the firmware to play nazi zombies on black ops online,so I lost the jailbreak and never got around to try the new jailbreak out there thats banning everyone! 🙂 It was cool for awhile but playing homebrew games got old! good luck to everyone jailbreaking there systems im not even going there with my system im a online player and dont want to buy another system.

what the!!!!!! thats so stupid, i know people who have the jailbreak but still buy games for it, thats gay, sony sucks ass big, im sure there are ways to tell if the game being played is pirated, in fact an example is lbp, they send data to see if the game is pirated then they kick u off the lbp server for good, thats how it should be done for those who pirated a ps3 game should be banned only on that game

You guys take this way to serious first off anyone that says jailbreaking is stupid is a asshole. Cause your so dum that you don't know that true jailbreaking opens your console up for you. allowing you to enjoy your $635 or $499 or $399 purchase to the max. I have Geohots 3.55 and that allows me to play game back from the old days such as sonic 2 mighty morphan power rangers and super mario all stars as well as many more ROMs. now I don't play backups cause I own all my games so I don't need to… Read more »

Yeah Baby! firmware 3.60 and beyond cannot come soon enough, I hope it bricks every jailbroken console out there and does away with username accounts and DLC, to hell with the F@ggL@@ggers who want to ruin it for everyone else, there are already reports of CFW bricking consoles especially the slim, yeah! woohoo, now Sony can start making money repairing all those damaged consoles, I think it’s like what $150 bucks, yeah! get ready to pay douchebags yeah! long live Sony and its products.
